Yeah. I've got such a strange message from North Africa Oil and Gas Summit.At first; I thought that"What!Wow is it real?". Than Nah.It was a trick. I search on google for it. The company may be real. But after seeing this article about lottery scams; I let it go.

Hi, I from Chile, and I knew that information was fake, but I sent the basic information for know what happened?, and I recieved a response, and they told me that I must travel to England to receive the money jajajaaj ... it is a very stupid idea.

Hi, I write from Italy and I just got an email like this on a sheet headed by NPCC reporting addresses righteous society. Unfortunately I can not go directly from the sheik to receive the award but I can ask my friend to go to Abu Dhabi. My friend Bob Dylan sI preocccuperà dI solve this task completely unexpected. Thank you for the feedback and I wish you good work.

Not two days ago I received what seems to be a fake message with a bit different content but the style of the message is suggestive of the one in the fake message example of lottery scam, provided herein. I would like to describe it here.

It alleges to be an international annual promotion on behalf of the World National Oil Companies Congeress, organized by the Terrapinn in London from June 2017, and that I am the 1-st category winner of $220 000.00, chosen together with 7 e-mail addresses in the fight against HIV/Aids awareness campaign. To get "the free lucky draw" payment I will be required to send appropriate data to a certain Mrs.Afshan Abdia, Johannesburg, South Africa,on e-mail: AbdiaAfshndsk@clerk.com

I received almost the same article that I have been selected as one of the 12 people to win $220,000.00. Its too good to be true. I fell for it. So, I gave my personal info. Then, I read this article and reported that email as spam. The respond said that to get the prize it's either 1. bank to bank 2. bank Check or draft but I have to travel to U.K. To claim it. Lesson learned. Thank you very much. When the struggle is real you can't help but let it happen.

I just received the same email today. I was very suspicious because I thought that it would be impossible to win without even doing anything so I searched it up first. This article is really helpful so I figured it's best to share it for everyone to know.
